بِذْلَةٌ

بِذْلَةٌA garment that is worn(T, Ṣ, Mṣb)in service, or work;(Ṣ, Mṣb;)that is not preserved, laid up, taken care of, or reserved;(T, M, Ḳ;) as alsoبَذْلَةٌ↓(Mṣb) andمبْذَلٌ↓, (T,) orمِبْذَلَةٌ↓, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) the pl. of which is مَبَاذِلٌ: (Ṣ:) and an old and worn-out garment;(TA;) as alsoمِبْذَلٌ↓ andمِبْذَلَةٌ↓; (M, Ḳ;) the last of which is mentioned on the authority of AZ, but is disapproved by ʼAlee Ibn-Hamzeh, who asserts it to be without ة: (IB, TA:)بِذْلَةٌ sometimes has بِذَلٌ as pl. (TA.) You say,جَآءَ نَا فُلَانٌ فِى مَبَاذِلِه↓, i. e. فِى ثِيَابِ بِذْلَتِهِ orبَذْلَتِهِ↓[Such a one came to us in his garments that he wore in service, or work]. (Ṣ, accord. to different copies. [I have shown that بِذْلَةٌ and بَذْلَةٌ are dial. vars., both as inf. ns. (see 8) and as proper substs.]) The word بَدْلَةٌ, with fet-ḥ, and with the unpointed د, applied by the vulgar to [a suit of] new clothes, is a mistake for بِذْلَةٌ, and this is correctly a name for old and worn-out clothes. (TA. [But this is doubtful; for بَدْلَةٌ commonly signifies, in modern Arabic, a change of clothes; and hence, a suit of clothes, whether new or old.])
